What Is This Feeling? ( A Moana Fanfic)

Leaving Oahu

Leaving Oahu

Chapter 67

Moana's POV

  The next day...

    I take one last look at Oahu before boarding the boat as it begins to float away. Maui sets us on the right course and sits down beside me. As we get farther away from Oahu, my sense of longing grows stronger. I think Maui feels the same because when we look at one another, there's an array of emotions on our faces. "Maui, I wish we didn't have to leave. I had such an amazing time." He puts an arm around me and pulls me close to him. "I know Moana. I had a great time too. Though, it'll be nice to see Tala again. I've been a little worried about her being alone back on the island." "True. I've missed Tala and have been worried about her myself." 

   I try to fight oncoming tears but fail at doing so. They slip down my cheeks. I try to hide them from Maui, but he can always see right through me. "Aw love, please don't cry. Everything is going to be okay. I'm sure we'll have another get away at some point. Plus, we'll be able to get an answer to your mystery illness really soon." I wipe away my tears and look away from Maui out of embarrassment. "I'm sorry for crying so much Maui. I sound like such a crybaby." He chuckles. "It's okay love. You don't have to apologize for having feelings. If it makes you feel any better, I'm crying on the inside as we speak." I pull him in for a hug that catches him by surprise, but he returns equally as tight. 

    "Sometimes Maui, it amazes me how you put up with someone who's as big of a pain in the ass as I am." He gives me a mocking shocked expression. "Um excuse me Moana, if there is anyone who is a big pain in the ass, it's me. I'm practically the king of being a pain in the ass." I giggle. "I know, but it's all a part of your charm love. Anyways, how long is it going to take to get back?" Maui puts a hand to the sky and does a mental calculation. "Well based on our current speed and track, we should be able to get back home by tomorrow evening latest." Both joy and anxiety runs through my mind at that response. Joy at seeing Gramma Tala and anxiety at the potential cause of this illness.
